I think every reality-TV star feels like they were siloed into a character, even if it's generally seen as positive. Every reality-TV star feels like there's more to them than the audience gives them credit for.""
""As the villain on the first season of The Bachelorette I was on, you always feel misunderstood. But that's mostly because you're only having, like, 10 percent of your personality shown. If they choose to show the unattractive side of your personality, you often feel misunderstood.""
